The National Monuments Service's description

On a low E-W ridge in rolling grassland. Visible as a small circular cropmark (diam. c. 15m) on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AOZ067, 13 July 1966) within the SW quadrant of a larger circular enclosure (KK012-054001-). This is probably indicating a house. There is a ring-ditch (KK012-054002-) c. 80m to the WSW.
